In our first game of the season, the Pirates got off to a slow start. Jeremiah Fountain was given the nod to start against the upstart Dodgers. Jeremiah showed command in the first inning for it to be his first start of the year. However, the defense let him down as we gave up 5 runs in the second inning. Ryan "A-1" Aubrey came on in relief in the third and showed great character. All in all, our pitching performances were adequate for this time of the season. On offense, after getting off to a slow start, the Pirates ended up with 10 hits. While we out hit the Dodgers, we gave up too many runs on walks to the Dodger and didn't come alive on offense until it was too late. It must be noted that there were several key performances: A-1 had 2 hits and was very aggressive on the base path; Brandon Chatman had a key double that sparked our offense; Garrison Thornton ended up with three hits and three runs scored; Jack Lockhart had two hits and scored a run; Dylan Kemp got his first hit in the season opener; and Justin Leone played well on defense at third base.
Final Score: Dodgers 14, Pirates 9
